Yes, the clustered filesystem will not run on SAN, since that will give
a high cost.

http://www.netapp.com/tech_library/3022.html <-- this article give some
info about the small file operations among the web, mail, IM, netdisk,
blog, etc. service. and that's our DFS targets at

Yes, we also support that with our insanely mechanism.
And you know in the current clustered fs, as GoogleFS, Lustre, etc.
which can be built on online growfs. That's also our way to do it.

Good news.

By the specific application & services, we can easily remove the
distributed lock manager easily with upper layer way. You can read the
GoogleFS paper to get some further info.

The limits can be removed.

Yes, that's Lustre's way, and we also add a logical disk layer to
support it.

At last, any help & donate & contribute among the requirements & tech.
domains are great appreciated !
